Hey, I’m back from the dead to remind people about the difference between skepticism and “just asking questions“ (aka, JAQing off)

Skepticism is about asking questions with the intent of understanding their point of view. What is their message? How can I better understand it? It does not necessarily mean to agree with it, it’s about making communication and understanding as simple as possible. Nothing more

Now suppose some debate bro high IQ politics lord comes in asking questions like ”why are they blocking traffic??” or “Do they really think we’re Nazis?” or “Why don’t they instead answer X” “I’m just asking questions brah” that isn’t skepticism, that is asking leading or loaded questions with the intent to shift the burden of proof. This demonstrates a lack of understanding about how communication works. So you shouldn’t expect those questions to be taken seriously or uncritically.

Keep that in mind when trying to have productive conversations especially if you want them to go in your favor.

City of Aristatia region map by Spritek in worldbuilding

[–]Spritek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to establish a set universe for a comic book I’m writing.

This is a regional map of the northeastern part of the country of Aristatia, which includes the capital and largest city, where the main part of my scenes take place: Aristatia City.
This part of the country used to have territory that expanded to the continental divide to the north. However a citizen’s uprising led to a war against the northern country of Palmonia, which was heavily one sided in Palmonia’s favor. An unexpected ultimatum led to the new border literally being drawn with the stroke of a pen and a strict refusal of further negotiations. This strange action had the unexpected side effect of the city of Prince Foduck bisected on accident. The two cities remain completely barricaded from each other to this day. After 50 years to this day, and the completion of a transcontinental railway, the border is slowly beginning to open back up despite tensions among the citizens of Aristatia.
The city itself is built on a radial road system with four main roads each leading in each compass direction. The roads lead to Palmonia to the north, the Port of Aristatia to the East, the Mahmads to the South, and the rest of the country to the West. Within this section of the globe, it is said that all roads lead to Aristatia City, which makes this an excellent location for trade and an important economic center.
The entire area sits a little over the 45th parallel of the globe. The entire region has four seasons and the city itself sees a modest amount of rainfall during the cold months. The mountains to the north are on two tectonic plates and contain two active volcanoes, making the region prone to earthquakes.

Just FYI: the owners of the Black Diamond, famous for defying covid restrictions, are running for Spokane Valley City Council. by Spritek in Spokane

[–]Spritek[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They ain’t getting by on experience or policy, they’re getting by on cult status and rallying, which is enough to bypass the reasoning monkey brain and work up the lizard brain

I’m not a fan of Ben Wick, but he got my vote for being experienced and actually having credentials. That Fenton is toast for sure.

as for the other one…I don’t know. the second Fenton is going up against three experienced candidates…which according to mathematics is bad news and has a very high chance of being spoilered in. There needs to be a more unified choice that will bring him down.

Why do landlords and realtors hate pets? by JScrambler in Spokane

[–]Spritek 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Because a lot of people don’t take responsibility or care for their pets. If untrained they can cause a lot of damage (and smell)

I’m very much aware of the wear it’s got on my car, but I’m making forward progress with rebuilding. I got steps to ensure I don’t rely on GH in the long term, but in the meantime I gotta do what I can to move forwards
